This trunk is called a steamer wardrobe trunk and they can sell for $75 - $500 and up. Name brands usually bring in more money.
Condition is critical for high price and it is not really easy to tell the true condition from pictures. That is something you'll have to determine for yourself.

Here are some similar trucks listed for sale on eBay.
Asking prices are just a price a seller would like to receive for their item but only a sold item represent 'value' but listings can give you ideas of what people are asking for these trunks.

Here is a link to eBay's sold listings so take a look at what people around the country are paying for similar trunks.
The prices seem to range from $75 - $500 according to the condition and where they are located as shipping would probably be around $100.

From the image you have posted here I can see some water damage on the inside of this trunk. There also seems to be some white mold on some of the drawers of the truck which would indicate it has been stored in a very wet place for several years. From what I can see from the images you have given to us to look it I would not pay more than $35 for this trunk.

I fear that the mold I am seeing is not good and if you look closely at the second image on the bottom inside I can see water damage. I would ask for more photos to verify this and get some closeup photos of the drawers to make sure they are not molded.

I by chance came across a Trunk similar to yours. I paid $60.00, it is a well loved and cared for trunk purchased via a retired auctioneer.
It has the leather and iron ornate workmanship dating back to the mid - late 1800's. Apparently used at one point by a soldier in WW1.

Hi!

I have never seen one of these before. I was looking on Etsy and they have them listed for $125.00 and above. I would not probably pay more than $100.00 for this, although it is amazing!
